Question

I need to create a custom volume slider for a WMP object. The current slider is complicated to modify, and use, is there a simple way to generate a slider on an HTML page that can have it's value passed to a javascript function?

Was it helpful?

Solution

jQuery UI Slider (API docs)

OTHER TIPS

hey i've just created my own JS slider because I had enough of the heavy Jquery UI one. Interested to hear people's thoughts. Been on it for 5 hours, so really really early stages.

HTML 5 with Webforms 2 provides an <input type="range"> which will make the browser generate a native slider for you. Unfortunately all browsers doesn't have support for this, however google has implemented all Webforms 2 controls with js. IIRC the js is intelligent enough to know if the browser has implemented the control, and triggers only if there is no native implementation.

From my point of view it should be considered best practice to use the browsers native controls when possible.

A simple slider: I have just tested this in pure HTML5, and it's so simple !

<input type="range">

It works like a charm on Chrome. I've not tested other browsers yet.

Here is another light JavaScript Slider that seems to fit your needs.

script.aculo.us has a slider control that might be worth checking out.

The lightweight MooTools framework has one: http://demos.mootools.net/Slider

I recommend Slider from Filament Group, It has very good user experience

The code below should be enough to get you started. Tested in Opera, IE and Chrome.

<script>
var l=0;
function f(i){
im = 'i' + l;
d=document.all[im];
d.height=99;
document.all.f1.t1.value=i;
im = 'i' + i;
d=document.all[im];
d.height=1;
l=i;
}
</script>
<center>
<form id='f1'>
<input type=text value=0 id='t1'>
</form>
<script>
for (i=0;i<=50;i++)
 {
 s = "<img src='j.jpg' height=99 width=9 onMouseOver='f(" + i + ")' id='i" + i + "'>";
 document.write(s);
 }
</script>
